Highlights from 2025-12-10 release
==================================

The majority of changes focus on stabilizing the system and migrating_ projects
to the new PULP_-based repository management system.

New Features
------------

- There is a new API endpoint, along with CLI support, for re-generating API
  tokens (allowing the creation of a new token using an existing, but still
  valid, one).  See `PR#3960`_.

- The ``wait()`` helper has become an official part of the ``python-copr`` API.
  See `#3653`_.

- Copr now allows storing wildcard strings in the "Packit allowed forge
  projects" field.

- The `Fedora Copr Frontend`_ is now protected by Anubis to defend against
  unreasonable bot load.  See `#4064`_.


Changes related to the PULP Migration
-------------------------------------

- The Copr client utility was fixed to ensure that ``download-build`` correctly
  downloads files from Pulp-migrated projects.

- Set user agent for Pulp requests to ``crc-pulp-client``.

- The storage migration script (Pulp/Backend) now includes logic for migrating
  all of a user's projects at once, rather than just one project at a time.

- The storage migration script uploads duplicate RPMs in alphabetical
  order, ensuring that *all* RPMs (even those that duplicate NEVRAs) are
  successfully uploaded to Pulp.

- Implemented a more robust uploading mechanism to Pulp (including retries on
  errors, a longer timeout, and safer method handling).

- Chunked uploads to Pulp were implemented (currently unused, as we believed not
  yet needed).

- backend: The ``PulpClient.get_content`` method now automatically paginates
  requests that could potentially return too many entries.

- The script for uploads to Pulp now logs basic progress information and ignores
  projects that have already been uploaded.

- Automatically delete projects from the ``pulp-redirects.txt`` file when a
  project is deleted.

- The ``pulp-redirect.txt`` file has been moved to persistent storage
  (preventing loss of the file during virtual machine moves).

- The hit-counter (download calculator) now includes downloads from Pulp in its
  statistics.

- The "regenerate repos" feature is ignored for Pulp projects where automatic
  createrepo is enabled.


Other Changes and Bugfixes
--------------------------

- frontend: Correctly marks canceled builds as "canceled" (not failed), and vice
  versa. `#3844`_.

- backend: Implemented a bigger "open FDs limit" for the repository pruner cron
  job.  This fixes previous tracebacks that led to unfinished pruning and
  increased storage consumption. `#4048`_.

- backend: The worker controlling the build now waits until the correct
  repositories are fully created (regardless of whether they are on the backend
  or in Pulp), `PR#4032`_.

- backend: Allow builders to run the SSH daemon on a non-standard port (other
  than 22).

- copr-common: Fixed support for PATCH requests.

- Fixed errors and warnings encountered when building documentation for
  a few Copr packages.

- backend: Stopped creating empty "spawner," "terminator," and "vmm" logs (as
  they have not been receiving any log entries for some time).

- backend/frontend: Dropped the requirement on `pytz` and now use `zoneinfo`.

- frontend: No longer raises a traceback for unexplained OAuthError errors. (If
  you observe these errors on the client side, please report/explain them!)

- frontend: Added protection against tracebacks when `copr.storage` is None
  (implemented a database update via an Alembic migration).

- frontend: Removed the last remaining logic leftovers of modularity.

- frontend: Dropped the custom `RedisSession` class in favor of the standard
  `flask-session` (which now supports Redis).

- frontend: Streamed pages (those serving many items, e.g., builds) now preload
  additional fields from the database in advance to avoid server-side errors.
